Fedidb doesn't have accurate numbers for kbin.social. Their count shows that kbin.social only has 5,389 users, this is the figure from before the ddos protection was turned on. Kbin.social actually has 125,121 users as of today. I guess cloudflare is blocking their crawler as well.
So the actual number of kbin/lemmy accounts is actually double the figure that this bot is showing.
I could be very wrong, but FediDB is the source of this bot, and the developer there thinks that the Stats number at the footer of Kbin includes remote followers from the Fediverse, but the number he gets from the API counts local users. Would love someone who knows the tech of how Kbin defines stats on the lower footer to confirm.
Huh, I think only @ernest will be able to clarify this. And even if this were true, 5k is too low considering the level of activity we have had with federation turned off.
Hey, so you were right about the stats page linked at the bottom including federated accounts. The actual number of total local kbin.social users is currrenly at 22,881. FediDB is still undercounting though. Source: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0
